Overview
********

   GNU Spell is a spell checking program which prints each misspelled
word on a line of its own.  It is designed as a clone of the standard
Unix `spell' program, and implemented as a wrapper for Ispell.  Spell
accepts as its arguments a list of files to read from.  Within that
list, the magical file name `-' causes Spell to read from standard
input.  In addition, when called with no file name arguments, Spell
assumes that it should process standard input.

   Spell is most useful when used in conjunction with other programs,
because its output is minimalistic.  Human users are usually more
comfortable with verbose output.  Note: The Ispell Manual,
for an screen-oriented spelling checker.
